[1][2] It has a one-way system that is unusual for a small countryside village, and a public house called 'The Royal Oak'.

[4] The village of Aubourn is located approximately 8 miles (13 km) south, south west of the City of Lincoln, adjacent to the River Witham, which winds its way eastwards to The Haven, a tidal arm of the Wash. Before the Second World War, the lower land to the east of the village was allowed to flood during the winter if the river rose too high, but since then a flood bank 2.5 metre high has been erected to prevent flooding and protect the village.

At the eastern end of the village stands Aubourn Hall, an early to mid-17th-century house set in 1.2 ha of gardens.

Built for Sir John Meres between 1587 and 1628, possibly on Tudor foundations, it is brick, with stone quoins, and three storeys high.

Only the tower and chancel of the newer church, as well as the derelict walls of the South transept, remain in the churchyard today.
